WHY YOU SHOULD COME
You’re done with the 9-5, right?
The “I need this NOW” feeling. The "WHY am I here" feeling. You know; that feeling like you could be doing more things, cooler things ... more things with impact.
Truth: It’s not just about the workplace, or the people. (Okay, sometimes it’s the people.)
It’s about you. And we want to help you.
Aren't you overwhelmed?
Aren’t you a little bit tired?
Haven’t you wanted to get up and walk out, and immediately start doing that thing that makes you smile even when you just think about it?
You’re not where you should be and you know this oh-so-deep down in your gut.
You shouldn’t Have to live always wanting more.

SPEAKERS
That’s where we came in & created Inspired to Action for YOU
-
who is working a 9-5,
-
who (tbph) feels stuck in her life because she has
-
WAY more ambition,
-
WAY more ideas, and
-
WAY more passion for a beautiful seed of an idea that could let her have WAY more control + laughter + joy in her life.
-
you stay in this life that isn’t yours,
in this skin that doesn’t feel big enough.
Despite the fact that you see women leaving their 9-5s on the reg and killing it by doing cool things that they care about, whether that’s making soap with herbs, creating co-working spaces and inclusive salons, or finally freelancing as accountants, writers, and a million more exciting things.
Despite the fact that the most secure thing you could do with your life is depend on yourself, and not somebody else.
I2A is a 1-day "dip-your-toe" in the basics of starting your small business. You might have an idea (or you might just want more from life.)
The first step out is validation.
Clarity. Support. Encouragement.

What to Expect
After a cortado (or two) from the moody bartender, MC Heather Wilson from Spark Your Vitality will welcome you all to I2A while generously introducing our title sponsor, Arina Kharlamova of Wild Geese Creative Co., who JUST made the leap from corporate to entrepreneurship with a copywriting + branding company.
As your jitters calm, we’ll begin our morning keynote: Tammy will talk about Deconstructing the Relationship between Mind, Body and Spirit. The intention bringing a 3D perspective to the relationship between them. Deconstructing this model allows us to understand their inter-connectivity and how this can impact how we show up in this world in relationships with others, in our decision making, in the area of self care. You will walk away from this with some understanding of where you may be operating from and how to shift it. This will be an interactive workshop.
Our second speaker is Bob Minhas from Entrepreneur House - and one of the founders of the event. He’ll walk you though the actual process of validating that your idea can work - the market research, the touch bases you need to hit, and the right people to provide feedback. He'll also teach you how to adjust your idea to be profitable, feasible, and strong - aka the power of the pivot.
We don’t know about you, but we’re usually famished by this point - excitement does that to us - so we’re super thankful for Joey’s for stepping in and lending a delicious hand here. An awesome lunch to get you ready for the final speaker of the day.
Julie Cole from Mabel's Labels will help you solidify your move as our afternoon keynote. She shares her story of how she moved from being a Toronto-based lawyer to a starting-up-in-her-basement entrepreneur with her co-founders to be the owner of a $12M empire.
What’s our hope? That throughout the event, you’ll meet other crazy people like you who are looking to make that jump and you’ll leave this event more than ready to do it. If you're still on the fence, we've setup a Mastermind Group that’ll help you brainstorm your idea even further. Never been in a mastermind? No worries. We know you’re beginning and we know how to help you get started.

Nothing about small business is easy, but we’re making it easier than it’s ever been.
You know you can do it: it’s just terrifying.
The best & only way out of fear? Is through.
By learning what you can about the things you don’t know (that scare you), you will find enough footing to make the leap. We’ve seen it in our friends, our colleagues - all those badass women making a living & thriving.
Why not you?
